Oreck XL Vacuums Best Roller (1 Brush & 3 Belts)

Ive had my Oreck XL for 20 years, & am ashamed to say I have never changed the brush/belt. It hadnt worked great for a while, but chalked it up to old age, & decided to see if it could be repaired so did some research. When I opened it up, the belt while in 1 piece, was all chewed up with a big hole in it. How the heck it never snapped I dont know, & the brush was just sad looking, so no wonder it didnt work well. The hardest part was getting the new belt on since its tight, & the brush roller is wood, like the original. I tested it out, & it was like a new vacuum, glided as smooth as silk & actually picked up stuff. I was so happy I vacuumed the whole house & apologized to the vacuum since it had been suffering so badly all this time. :)

The wife was complaining about sucking and said she could do the job in half the time if she didnt have to go over and over and over on the same spot, myself I didnt notice, I just lay back and watch her, I ordered and installed the brush and no more complaining about the sucking, now I lay back and watch her and she has a smile on her face the whole time, which brings a smile to my face for sure.

From a mans perspective! Its the holiday season and I have picked up some of the slack around the house by doing some dusting and vacuuming after all the Christmas decorations are put out. I could not believe how HARD it was to vacuum, it was a real workout. No kidding, i was sweating pushing the Oreck vacuum. I asked my wife about what was wrong and she said, Nothing is wrong, it just pushes hard! There is no way it should be that hard to push a vacuum. After a very little research I found that replacing the roller was all that was needed. This roller took less than 5 minutes to install, just look at the old roller before removing it and the orientation will be obvious. After installation, NEW SWEEPER! Glides over the carpet like it should. And here is the interesting thing, the old roller had brushes that look really good. So if your Oreck pushes hard, replace this roller.

Received order quickly & installation only took a few minutes, & performed perfectly.

Everything fit perfect works great

After replacing the belts on my Oreck vacuum, its performance was still subpar. It didnt suck very well, and emitted a burning smell during use. After receiving and installing this new brush roller, my vacuum is back to its original abilities. Inexpensive, easy to install fix.

I didnt like when I inquired if this brush could replace a brush with a ball bearing the reply was as long as the dimensions were/are the same it will work. After my purchase and a YouTube google found out this was the case.

Product was super easy to install, and brought the the vacuum back to life - almost as if it is brand new!

Home use

My bad for just now attempting to use the bar but it does NOT fit Oreck XL 21 or 2100. Description now makes it clear but it didnt back when I purchased the unit. Visually appears to be of good quality and am able to use the belts. Which work great.
